I wrote about this back in February 2022 but will summarize it here. I use this folder to store the persistent data kept for containers. A new shared folder will be created called Docker. Just search for Docker and click Install. The process is super easy because the software is available in the Package Center. The first step of using Docker on Synology is to install it.

With that decided, I dove into learning Docker and rolling out Plex on the Synology. It’s not a technology I got to use a work, but software containerization is something I felt I’ll need to be familiar with going forward. The system filled my needs as a home server for several years, but eventually, I ran out of storage space and needed to decide on the next stage of my home sever life.Īll of this got me thinking about Docker.

Previously I used an old Ubuntu PC as a storage/print server, Plex server, and other various things. Having received a Synology DS220+ NAS over the winter, I decided to dive in to see how much stuff I could run on the system. This post is either a cool idea or ridiculous.
